I expected these to come 205, but they are 225 45 17's - although I took them for a short run I'd like to know if anyone has fitted this size and come across any problems. They are 5x100 with these special bolts - any issues with these? Can I put the standard locking nuts back on ar do I need special locking nuts?

225/45/17 is what they should be for 17" wheels. Never heard of someone running 205/60/16s, you either run 195/60/15s or 205/55/16s..
